Car Accident? Pain?

TIP OF THE DAY by Dr. Riadh Fakhoury

After an accident:
Some people may encounter pain and tension immediately. For others, the symptoms show up later and get worse over time.

Whether the impact occurs from the front or the rear, your neck is usually the most vulnerable area of your body in any motor vehicle accident. Your body is held relatively still by a seat belt, whereas your head and neck are free to move. This typically results in the neck moving very rapidly through an excessive range of motion, contributing to injuries that can affect muscles in the neck, as well as joints and discs. Whiplash is the name often associated with car accident neck injuries.

Symptoms from whiplash may include any or all of the following:

Headaches

Neck pain and inflammation

Stiffness and difficulty turning your neck

Arm pain, numbness or tingling

Nausea

Dizziness

Fatigue

Recovering from an accident can be a real pain in the neck! Untreated it may permanently affect your life.
